A fish is vertically below a flying bird...

A fish is vertically below a flying bird moving vertically down toward water surface. The bird will appear to the fish to be

A

moving faster than its speed and also away from the real distance

B

moving faster than its real speed and never than its real distance.

C

moving slower than its real speed and also nearer than its real distance

D

moving slower than its real speed and away from the real distance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(mu_(1))/(-u)+(mu_(2))/(v)=(mu_(1)-mu_(2))/(R)`
For a polane surface, `R=oo`
`:. (mu_(1))/(-u)+(mu_(2))/(v)=0`
or `(mu_(2))/(v)=(mu_(1))/(u)` or `(mu)/(v)=(1)/(u)`
`v=muu`
Clearly, to the fish , the bird appears farther than its actual distance.
Again, `(dv)/(dt)=mu(du)/(dt)`
or Apparent speed of bird
`=` refractive index `xx` Actual speed of bird.

In a lake, a fish rising vertically to the surface of water uniformly at the rate of 3 m/s, observes a bird diving vertically towards the water at the rate of 9 m/s. The actual velocity of the dive of the bird is (given, refractive index of water = 4/3)

A diver under water sees a bird in air, vertically above him. If the actual, height of the bird above the water surface is 'h' , then does it appear at the same height 'h' to the diver ? Explain giving reasons. If mu_(w) is the refractive index of water, find the shift in the bird's position as observed by the diver.
